[Gnuplot-info] Insert "created on" into plot

[<ge...@ri...>]

Hi all,

I'm a quite new gnuplot user, and so far I'm really impressed and it
works quite well.

I would like to include a string like "created on date & time" into my
plots. I've searched for a possibility to achieve this in the internet
and the documentation, but without success so far, maybe I've used the
wrong search termes. (Sorry if this sounds maybe like a dumb
question...)

Could anybody advise please?

Thanks,
Georg

3 possibilities:

# automatic, but may not place it where you want
set timestamp

# create a label wherever you like
# see "help timefmt" for available format options
set label N at x, y strftime(time("%d/%m/%Y",0))

# same idea but use the output of a shell command
set label N at x, y system("date")

The location can be changed, though.  See "help set timestamp".

But note that the latter two are not dynamic, i.e. the command has to be 
run again before every plot to make sure you have the correct timestamp, 
particularly if you have not just the date, but also the time in there.

you are looking for something like

set label 1 "Created on\r\n".strftime("%d.%m.%Y\r\n%H:%M:%S",time(0)) at 
screen 0.8,0.2

Check help and/or the pdf documentation about more details of time 
format, labels, coordinates etc.

Another variant:

set label N at x,y   time("Created on %d-%m-%Y")
